As above guys,
Whats your opinion on 16's on ek9's. Might have a nice set lined up but want opinions on how this size of wheel fits. Had 98 specs over the summer under it an it didn't work but i think with a bit of lows it might be ok ??

The wheels in question are regamaster evos in black/charcoal grey, could be spoons but haven't seen them yet.
 
Think 16's look really good but has to be right wheel, 98 specs, sw388's/regas, TE37's, Advan RG's etc look immense!
 
Love the look of 16's! But, beware of tyre prices if you want good tyres. Main reason I sold my 16's, and this is going to controversial but my car felt better on 15's.
 
Tyre prices for can be almost double. That of the 15". Personally I would only ever fit 16" if I can't fit a big enough brake setup under 15".
 
Just go for it!
16's are looking perfect on ek...
But the tires are expensive.Personally i have 98 spec for all day and 15 for trackdays etc..
 
IMHO 15's look best and as already stated prices for 16" tyres are ridiculous!
 
Cheers for the views expressed above, i think im going to look at them anyway with nothing to loose. With some coilovers they should look well i think. They're regamaster evo's and the colour seems very like the spoons but time will tell :nerv:
 
imo 15s are way nicer, set of coilovers and sit the car down a bit, 16 might work with the regas tho there a lovely wheel but personally in general i think there too big, i tend to stay with standerd size ie. ek9 came with 15inch 98spec teg r came with 16 just my 2 cents
 
Much prefer the look of 16's on EK's as they fill the arches much better. Only downside is the cost of tires.
 
not really worried about tires to be honest, there meant to be fairly good bf goodrich's. But if there got it'll mean i'll def need coilovers. I.e more money :/
